Gold opened at Be, rose steadily t 0164. and closed firm at that Ike re, with a lively demand. The cause of this ia not exactly plain, unless It ho predicated upon the extougoon of the privilege to issue legal tenders. The banking hill scams generally to be accepted as a necessary auxiliary of the present wee, and many of the banks are contamplaing a change in order to avail themselves of the ad vaitages hold out to them. Already, in Now York and Washing ton, parties have notified the Secretary of their intention to batik under the system, and, frotn the look of thing's, the comptroller end his assistants must soon be appoint -a, and set to work.

The declared value of imported merchandise at the port of New York, exclusive of dry goods, during the week ending Saturday last, was 82,605,559, to which add the Value of dry goods imported, say 81,614,018, and the ag gregate imports for the week will foot -op 184,119.577. Againet this, we exported 81,985,632 worth of produce and merchandise, and 8620, 017 in specie, in sill/4,633,624, Which allows an apparent balance of $520.017 in favor of the port, As, however, the imports are entered at their specie valuation, while the exports are returned at their valuation in currency, it is doubtful whether the trade of the week leaves any real balance iu oar favor.
